Victoria Bay
A small bay ringed by cliffs, a well-known surf spot in South Africa, with a row of seaside cottages built right on the rocks and shallow tide pools that suit families.
Victoria Bay lies about 9 km south of George. It is a tiny bay enclosed by steep hillsides, with one narrow beach and a row of holiday houses built on the rocky outcrops. It is often named one of the most photogenic bays on the Garden Route. The reef on the right side of the bay produces consistent waves, making it a well-known surf spot in South Africa. On one side of the beach you will find lifeguards and tide pools, which are good for paddling. Parking is tight on summer weekends, so arrive early. You can photograph the whole bay from the viewing deck. The disused railway line beside the railway bridge is no longer in service.
